Best server to house Roon and 4 TB of music feeding DCS Vivaldi Upsampler and Dac
+1 Verdantaudio......but I would throw one more in there.  Lucas Audio Music Servers out of the UK and Poland.  Lucas Domansky is a computer genius.  I considered many music servers including Taiko, Antipodes, Pink Faux, and Aurender before settli... 
Thoughts on Lumin D2
I love the Lumin line.  I have had the U1 mini, D2, A1, and X-1.  To be honest the D2 was the lowest SQ but it was to be expected at that price point.  If there is any way you can stretch your budget and buy a used T2 or A1 you would be happier.  ... 
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
@nutty. ---did you have any problems with fuse direction?  Which way did you put them in?  Did you have to change the direction?    
Kudos to Millersound
I am just curious...what would the cost of a new driver been compared to the repair?  
The review wehave been promising is up
I forgot....what was this thread about? Oh, any more comments on the 432 EVO? I would love to hear.  
Differences between models of expensive vs inexpensive DACs
I have had a Lumin U-1 mini, D2, A1, and X1.   I can tell you each of these DAC's was a definite step up, especially the X1.  The D2 was so average sounding compared to the X-1.  The level of detail for each DAC was easily heard. I then decided ... 
Horn speakers are really bright?
The new drivers are much better.  Vocals are more pronounced and the instrumentation cleaner and more pronounced.    
From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion
I don't believe you mentioned a budget but you are already a part of the Lumin family.  I went from separates to the Lumin X-1.  The Lumin X-1 does it all.   
The review wehave been promising is up
I posted this in his other thread..... People, you don't have to buy the Aeon from Audiotroy or anyone else for that matter.  So many people have a hard-on about AudioTroy hyping his product on Audiogon.  Have you heard the Aeon?  Do you know any... 
I have new speakers on the way. What to listen to first?
Anette Askvik - Liberty Nils Lofgren Band Live  - Girls in Motion. My Joy - Younger days. That should give you a pretty good picture of how your new speakers will sound!        
Best microphone for recording home system
Call Sweetwater and talk to their reps.  They are super knowledgeable and helpful.  I just bought a whole system including dual mics, transmitter and microphone stand.    
Horns
audition__audio...You are not a horn guy and that is fine and I respect your analysis above.   However, you say that horn people get all bent out of shape when horns are criticized and that may be true.  In this case, the Op was asking specificall... 
first US review 432 evo music server
People, you don't have to buy the Aeon from Audiotroy or anyone else for that matter.  So many people have a hard-on about AudioTroy hyping his product on Audiogon.  Have you heard the Aeon?  Do you know anything about it?   Are we not all in this... 
Horns
audition__audio. --  Every speaker has a unique sound.  I have had Wilson, B&W, and Sonus Faber speakers.  All were different.   I now have horn speakers and I love them.  As far as unique sound to the horn....hmmmm, I don't agree.  I do think... 
$20k(ish) tube preamps
Call Tom Vu at Triangle Art Audio.  The L200 is really good.
